Album: Discovery Tour

Mammoth Cave National Park

Many people visiting Mammoth Cave ask, “May we visit the cave without a guided tour?” When the Discovery tour is offered, the answer is yes! This self-guided tour requires a ticket, and proceeds into the Historic Entrance. Focusing on early history and prehistory of the cave, this section of cave houses many great artifacts. This tour is ideal for people wanting to move at their own pace or are looking for a cave experience without much time commitment. This tour is the self-guided version of the guided Mammoth Passage Tour. Please note this tour is only offered intermittently, generally during the summer months. Includes part of the Historic Tour and all of the Mammoth Passage Tour routes.
